Thousands of fans have been enjoying the Rod Stewart Concert on York's Knavesmire this Saturday evening.
This is Rod’s first UK tour in three years following the success of two sold-out tours in 2016 – The UK Hits Stadium Tour and the arena tour “From Gasoline Alley to Another Country Hits.”

Last night his tour bus made the long journey from Southampton to set up ready to welcome his Yorkshire fans.
Those who didn't buy a ticket or couldn't get one were still able to enjoy bits of it as the sound floated across the City of York.
It could be heard well over 2 miles from the Knavesmire tonight.
But this could have been the best seat of the night!
Here's some pictures from the air taken by Oliver Webb in his Hot Air Balloon.
Rod Stewart Live In Concert will see Rod play the following dates after York:
• Tues 4 June Milton Keynes, Stadium MK
• Fri 7 June Ipswich, Portman Road Stadium
• Sat 8 June Wolverhampton, Molineux Stadium
• Wed 12 June Aberdeen, AECC
• Fri 14 June Bolton, University of Bolton Stadium

#RodStewart concert at York racecourse right now. Wish I was there rather than listening from 2 miles away as it sounds fantastic! Heard Maggie May a while back. 👌
